6 Billion Human Beings
www.popexpo.net
If you're 38 years old,
there are now about twice as many people on Earth as when you were
born, and about 30 percent of the people born that year are already
dead. You can learn facts like these by plugging your age into one
of the many interactive "Did you know?" games at this online exhibit
from Musée de l'Homme in Paris, part of France's National Museum of
Natural History. The exhibit is designed to help visitors "understand
why the world's population has exploded in recent years and why it
might stabilize during the next century."
